The Prime Minister also inaugurated local manufacturing of lithium-ion battery cells for hybrid vehicles, marking a step forward in India’s push for EV self-reliance.

The Made-in-India e Vitara will not only serve the domestic market but also be exported to over 100 countries worldwide, including major EV markets such as the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. This positions India as a key global production hub in Suzuki’s EV roadmap.

The start of export of e VITARA to Europe is indeed a proud and defining moment for us. To delight customers in over 100 countries, the product has to be truly world class in terms of technology, design, safety and performance. Built on an all-new electric vehicle (EV) platform, HEARTECT-e, the e VITARA features a design that combines a sense of advanced technology and strength.
